Detail
Synopsis Multiple vulnerabilities were found in VLC, allowing for the execution of arbitrary code. Background Description * Luigi Auriemma discovered that the stack-based buffer overflow when reading subtitles, which has been reported as CVE-2007-6681 in GLSA 200803-13, was not properly fixed (CVE-2008-1881). * Alin Rad Pop of Secunia reported an array indexing vulnerability in the sdpplin_parse() function when processing streams from RTSP servers in Xine code, which is also used in VLC (CVE-2008-0073). * Drew Yao and Nico Golde reported an integer overflow in the MP4_ReadBox_rdrf() function in the file libmp4.c leading to a heap-based buffer overflow when reading MP4 files (CVE-2008-1489). * Drew Yao also reported integer overflows in the MP4 demuxer, the Real demuxer and in the Cinepak codec, which might lead to buffer overflows (CVE-2008-1768). * Drew Yao finally discovered and a boundary error in Cinepak, which might lead to memory corruption (CVE-2008-1769).

Title: | DSA-1543 vlc -- several vulnerabilities | ||
Description: | Luigi Auriemma, Alin Rad Pop, Reacute mi Denis-Courmont, Quovodis, Guido Landi, Felipe Manzano, Anibal Sacco and others discovered multiple vulnerabilities in vlc, an application for playback and streaming of audio and video. In the worst case, these weaknesses permit a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running vlc. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following eight problems: A buffer overflow vulnerability in subtitle handling allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code through the opening of a maliciously crafted MicroDVD, SSA or Vplayer file. A format string vulnerability in the HTTP-based remote control facility of the vlc application allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. Insecure argument validation allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files writable by the user running vlc, if a maliciously crafted M3U playlist or MP3 audio file is opened. Heap buffer overflows in RTSP stream and session description protocol (SDP) handling allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code if a maliciously crafted RTSP stream is played. Insufficient integer bounds checking in SDP handling allows the execution of arbitrary code through a maliciously crafted SDP stream ID parameter in an RTSP stream. Insufficient integrity checking in the MP4 demuxer allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary memory and execute arbitrary code if a maliciously crafted MP4 file is opened. An integer overflow vulnerability in MP4 handling allows a remote attacker to cause a heap buffer overflow, inducing a crash and possibly the execution of arbitrary code if a maliciously crafted MP4 file is opened. | ||
